Clarify your stance: Explain your policy on recording sessions and why itâ€™s in place. Address their concerns: Ask why they want to record, and explore alternative ways to support their needs, like session summaries. Set boundaries: If recording isnâ€™t an option, respectfully reinforce the limits of the coaching relationship. Offer flexibility: Suggest alternatives like note-taking or sending follow-up materials to maintain transparency. Navigating boundaries is keyâ€”be clear, respectful, and find a solution that works for both sides.

Have you previously identified this boundary in your practice? If not, decide your boundary now. Is this ok with you? Use this opportunity to discuss this need at length. What does it offer the client, etc.? How could you support their progress without it?
